- I finished Animal, Vegetable, Miracle yesterday and wanted to cry. It was so wonderful and I was glad to take my time getting through it. I'm still working my way through Alone In The Kitchen With An Eggplant which so far is a lot of fun to read. Me being me though, I needed to add to my reading list before I reached the end of both of my books. So next up is Goat Song, and then Small Giants which looks wonderful. We will see!
